Random Things Happening Behind the Scenes at Bricks ‘n Blooms

Gardens are looking incredible right now! They’ve really hit their stride. Have you noticed the leaves are starting to turn and fall? Yup…autumn is coming.

I am traveling to Michigan today to meet my friends over at Proven Winners and tour the gardens. Hopefully, my travel plans will go smoothly and the weather will hold up! I was suppose to go a few years ago and a massive storm canceled my flight and every other flight for a few days within three days of my trip.

We’ve had some pretty cool nights here, so I moved most of my houseplants back indoors already. I looked ahead and we may be in low 50’s all week long so I’m not taking any chances while I’m gone. They are not in their final spaces, but they are all indoors where they won’t get too cold from the cooler temps.

And finally, my youngest, Tori went back to school. It was so fun having her home and I miss her already!

What I’m Shopping For This Week

Love this scalloped planter.
And this aged copper planter too!
I love this tea towel for fall and just ordered it for my Kitchen. However this one is a great alternative is you want a deeper color palette.
Just ordered this scented candle. I love the size and scents from the hearth and hand line.
How adorable are these pumpkin cachepots? They’d look so cute with mums or even kalanchoe plants.

These are the most popular products on my blog this week!
